Student will be able to do solve any linear equation and inequality

Maine Learning Results Alignment

Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - D. Algebra
Equations and Inequalities
Grade 8
2. Students understand and solve problems involving linear equations.
a. solve any linear equations including linear equations of the form ax+b=cx+d.

Rationale:


Assessment

Formative (Assessment for Learning)
*The KWL chart will get them to right down things that they learned from the lesson. Students will receive different ideas and thoughts on how to solve linear equations and inequalities. Students will be noted on participation within the group and scored appropriately.
Summative (Assessment of Learning)
*A two columned quiz will be given to them at the end of class to be completed and handed in by the end of class. the will get to see how well they did instantly when I announce the answers to the class.

Integration

The students will get to blog on what they have learned and will end up getting feed back from fellow classmates. The skit they will view is going to be on you-tube or something along those lines.

Groupings

Students will give the teacher a list of commonly know tunes and will have the student hum their favorite one and will group up with someone humming a different tune.

Differentiated Instruction

Strategies
Musical – humming tunes
Interpersonal – group work
Intrapersonal – working alone before group work
Linguistic – communicating to each other
Mathematical – solving linear equations
Bodily-Kinesthetic – walking around to find different tunes
Modifications/Accommodations
I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Students will be informed that one of the classes will be outdoors, so if anyone needs a special accommodation they should inform me no less than two days prior to the class day.

Absent Students:
If any student is unable to make a class they are responsible for the missed work and can get it from a fellow student, myself via email or any other means, or the homework hotline. Absent students' work will be accepted late for full credit if sufficient evidence is presented ( a note from parent/guardian, doctor or physician, coach or a faculty member) describing circumstances preventing you from attending class, completing your work and gathering assignments and work. An extension shall be given and the length of it will be dependent on the assignment missed. However with no note work will be accepted late with a penalty of 10% off of the grade for every class late (if your work is 2 classes late that means 20% of your grade will be negated).
